Behind the scenes at CSG
On a windy, wintry day in Melbourne I decided it would be prudent to tag along to a CSG event, given my role as web developer, video editor, and all-round tech support. Besides Marina and I did need to do lunch!
This proved to be an enlightening experience, especially seeing what is involved with setting up a hybrid event. Marina told me that, most of the time, there is some sort of technical glitch that needs to be sorted out prior to the start of the event. It has been a steep learning curve!
Sure enough, on the day I attended, they did have issues to trouble-shoot. Despite Marina‘s diligent attention to detail, we still ended up with a small hiccup that, inexplicably, resulted in the presenter not being seen on the recording, despite everything looking fine on the laptop.
Aside from these technical issues the event was a delight; Craig‘s presentation was brilliant and engaging. What's more, the location in the boardroom on the 50th floor, 120 Collins Street Melbourne has a magnificent view of the city and the bay.
Despite my initial reluctance to embark on the journey ahead, it was surprisingly really easy. A simple train trip to Parliament station, then a hop, skip and jump around the corner, and I had arrived at the CSG location.
As it turned out, I had a delightful day, an extended lunch, and I would thoroughly recommend the experience.
